______Work

“_______ work” is a six-hour endurance performance drawing and installation I executed at the Vergette Gallery, Southern Illinois University in the fall of 2016. The installation included a paper I patch-worked together from tracing paper and wheat paste to the specific dimensions of the far wall of the gallery, 10 x 13 feet, three blown glass sculptures mounted to the walls of the gallery, and an armchair. The blown glass sculptures are abstract, organic, forms encrusted with glass nipples moulded from my own, and inlayed with mirror. Similarly, the repeated circular marks drawn in the performance are representative of nipples. ̌
